That made things a bit easier.
Fang Xiu nodded at Zhao Yao.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he charged toward the swarm of Demon Beasts.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing over there?"
An Awakened saw Fang Xiu running after Yue Tianrui and Zhao Yao.
He quickly shouted.
Several other Awakened nearby also looked over.
Although they had only met Fang Xiu yesterday, they had already witnessed his power.
But that was against a single Demon Beast.
This was a whole swarm of them!
However, when they saw Fang Xiu taking down one Demon Beast with a single punch, even stronger than Vice-Captain Yue Tianrui,
they silently went back to fighting the Demon Beasts in front of them.
Fang Xiu’s strength seemed to be beyond their comprehension.
They had originally thought Fang Xiu could only use ranged Skills.
Like the Thunder from yesterday.
It was mighty and had immense destructive power.
But it surely had to consume a lot of Spiritual Power.
But now, seeing Fang Xiu fight directly with his fists?
’Is this the extent of Fang Xiu’s power?’
No wonder he could kill a Level 40 Boss when he was only Level 15.
Before, some had doubted the authenticity of his achievements.
After all, while the Thunder yesterday looked incredibly powerful, its consumption must have been huge as well.
At Level 15, the power Fang Xiu could unleash shouldn’t have been that great.
And with the Spiritual Power he had at that time, he probably couldn’t have used Thunder more than a few times.
Killing a Level 40 Boss was somewhat suspect.
But now they saw that Fang Xiu wasn’t just strong at range, but his close combat was just as formidable.
’Is this what a Sacrificial Master is?’
He seemed so different from the Sacrificial Masters they had in mind.
"ROAR!"
At that moment, the Demon Beasts were roaring continuously.
They charged toward the Awakened.
Fortunately, there were enough Awakened here.
Not only were there the Awakened who had been here before, but Awakened from the Awakening Hall had also arrived.
More Awakened from other places would be arriving later.
It would just take some time.
As for Fang Xiu’s trio, the Demon Beasts they faced were getting higher and higher in Level.
From Level 55 at the start, Level 60 Demon Beasts had now appeared.
"Cloud-Breaking Fist!"
Yue Tianrui also used a relatively powerful Skill.
He blasted it directly at a Demon Beast not far away.
"Burning Wilds of Ten Thousand Miles!"
Zhao Yao also used a Skill.
A Level 60 Demon Beast required them to go all out.
Even though one of them was Level 66 and the other was as high as Level 70.
But a Level 60 Demon Beast, even if not Boss Level, was already very strong.
The two of them had to use Skills just to hold it off.
"Netherworld Thunder Fall!"
Seeing that both Zhao Yao and Yue Tianrui had used their Skills,
Fang Xiu didn’t hesitate either.
He once again gathered dark clouds, using the falling thunder to kill the Demon Beasts.
Both Fang Xiu’s and Zhao Yao’s Skills were area-of-effect attacks.
They managed to kill quite a few Demon Beasts.
Yue Tianrui killed all the remaining ones that slipped through.
With the three of them holding the front line,
the Awakened behind them only had to deal with Demon Beasts below Level 50.
After fending off a wave of Demon Beasts,
Zhao Yao looked up at the black vortex in the sky.
’There are definitely even stronger Demon Beasts inside there.’
"Fang Xiu, get out of here!"
Yue Tianrui shouted, looking at Fang Xiu.
"Let’s hold on a little longer. I haven’t reached my limit yet."
Fang Xiu could kill Level 60 Demon Beasts, and he still had a Skill he hadn’t used.
’Maybe I can even kill a Level 70 Demon Beast.’
"Then be careful. The Demon Beasts inside might reach Level 70!"
Yue Tianrui hesitated for a moment, but didn’t say more, just giving a slight nod.
The Demon Beasts’ strength was increasing.
This time, Level 70 Demon Beasts were likely to appear.
However, Yue Tianrui had seen Fang Xiu’s strength with his own eyes.
He believed in Fang Xiu’s abilities.
’After all... he might be even stronger than me.’
"ROAR!"
Just then, another furious roar echoed from within the black hole.
This time, the ground itself shook.
"Wh-what is that Demon Beast? It’s so powerful!"
"We can hear it roaring from inside the vortex?"
"This Demon Beast’s Level must be incredibly high!"
"It could be a Boss!"
"A high-level Boss!"
"No way, a Boss that hasn’t appeared in all these years?"
At this moment, after processing what was happening, many of the Awakened wore looks of shock.
They had also heard that roar.
And their knowledge of the Demon Beast Realm was far greater than Fang Xiu’s.
This made Fang Xiu realize that this was definitely not a simple matter.
"Old Yue, we’re in big trouble this time!"
Zhao Yao looked up at the vortex in the sky and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Hearing this, Yue Tianrui nodded as well. "It should be the Level 70 Boss, the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake!"
"Level 70? A Boss?"
Fang Xiu never would have thought that this thing’s roar belonged to a Level 70 Boss.
The others were also stunned when they heard this.
Among everyone here, only Zhao Yao had reached Level 70.
Against a Level 70 Ordinary Demon Beast, he might be able to put up a fight.
But this was a Level 70 Boss!
’How are we supposed to fight this?’
"Old Yue, you didn’t hear wrong, did you?"
Zhao Yao looked at Yue Tianrui with a grave expression.
He knew that Yue Tianrui had seen many Demon Beasts and was quite familiar with their calls.
But this... was actually a Level 70 Boss, a Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake?
’This won’t be easy to deal with!’
"Although I’ve never seen a real Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake, I can still recognize its cry."
Yue Tianrui shook his head helplessly.
He also wished he had misheard.
But this was indeed the roar of the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake.
"Then it seems all we can do now is pray that thing doesn’t come down!"
Zhao Yao looked at the vortex in the sky, from which another batch of Demon Beasts was now leaping down.
Judging by their type, however, they were all Level 60.
There weren’t many of them either.
The Level 70 Boss, however, showed no signs of coming down.
"Mm! Let’s fight!"
Yue Tianrui nodded.
He then looked at Fang Xiu. "Later, if things look bad, don’t worry about me and Old Zhao. Just run!"
"Okay, don’t worry!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
But he was also a little nervous inside.
’A Level 70 Boss? I wonder if Kajimi can handle it?’
Then he dove straight back into the battle.
Thunder!
Flame!
And his two fists!
The trio of Fang Xiu, Yue Tianrui, and Zhao Yao once again held off the entire wave of Level 60 Demon Beasts.
Next up was a wave of Level 70 Demon Beasts.
Fang Xiu and Zhao Yao were doing fine.
But Yue Tianrui was only Level 66.
Facing a few Level 70 Demon Beasts was manageable.
But as more and more of them appeared, he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
"Old Yue, focus on the Level 60s. Don’t let them distract me!"
Zhao Yao said, looking at Yue Tianrui with some concern.
"I’m fine!"
Yue Tianrui shook his head.
He had just killed two Level 70 Demon Beasts, and it had taken some effort.
"ROAR!"
Just then, another furious roar erupted from the vortex in the sky.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Yao became vigilant.
’It seems... the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake is coming down.’
"Mm!"
Fang Xiu stared at the vortex with a grave expression.
At that exact moment, he saw a snake’s head poke out from the vortex.
’Is that the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake?’
Fang Xiu stared at the head.
He knew this thing was definitely coming down.
"ROAR!"
The head roared at Fang Xiu and the others.
A vicious glint flashed in its eyes.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Yao and Yue Tianrui spoke at almost the same time.
But before the words had even faded,
a black shadow was seen swooping rapidly from the sky toward the ground.
The Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake had a pair of wings. Its body was long and slender, pitch-black, and at least fifty meters long.
It swooped toward the ground just like that.
’This Demon Beast... is so strong!’
This was Fang Xiu’s first time facing such a powerful Demon Beast.
’I don’t know if the three of us can handle it, even if we work together.’
But soon, Fang Xiu would have his answer.
As the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake swooped down from the sky,
it shot directly toward Yue Tianrui.
It seemed to know that Yue Tianrui was the easiest to bully.
But Yue Tianrui didn’t hesitate either, throwing a punch and using his Level 60 Skill—Little Kui Star Fist!
The punch flew out, as dazzling as a star.
It struck the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake directly.
But the effect was mediocre.
Although it knocked the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake back some distance,
it quickly stabilized itself and whipped its tail around.
"Headmaster, watch out!"
Fang Xiu yelled.
But the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake’s Attack Speed was too fast.
Yue Tianrui only had time to cross his arms in a defensive block.
BAM!
A loud bang rang out.
Yue Tianrui was sent flying by the tail whip.
He crashed heavily against a large rock!
"BLECH!"
He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!
